Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups sweetened shredded coconut, 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Stir until well mixed.
  3. Step 3: In a separate clean bowl, beat 2 large egg whites with 1/4 tsp fine sea salt using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  4. Step 4: Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the coconut mixture until fully incorporated.
  5. Step 5: Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 1 inch apart.
  6. Step 6: Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the edges and tops are golden brown and slightly firm to the touch.
  7. Step 7: Remove from the oven and let the macaroons cool completely on the baking sheets.
  8. Step 8: Meanwhile, melt 4 oz chopped bittersweet or dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
  9. Step 9: Using a fork, drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled macaroons in thin streams.
  10. Step 10: Place the macaroon clusters on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 15 minutes until the chocolate sets.
